In preparation for his upcoming fight against Tommy Fury, KSI (Olijade Olatunj) has taken an unusual approach. He's offering his sparring partners a bonus if they manage to knock him out during training.
This fight marks a significant challenge for KSI, as he faces Tommy Fury, the brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. KSI's training regimen has been intense, and he's been working closely with professional boxers to prepare for the bout.
According to London Shootfighters head coach Alexis Demetriades, KSI's sparring partners are not holding back and are genuinely trying to push him to his limits. Demetriades mentioned, "They're trying to kill JJ, and there's bonus money on the table for them to knock him out."
Despite being considered the underdog in the matchup, KSI remains confident and has a clear game plan. He's focused on countering Tommy Fury's combinations and dealing with his clinching style. KSI aims to prove his power is different from Jake Paul's and plans to test Tommy Fury's chin in the ring.
